We're talking about the "oh no, my netflix streams is coming from the
wrong ISP" kind of problem here, right? I.e., same DNS request gives
different answer depending on which ISP I send it to?

For one thing, I'm not convinced this is that big of a problem. I happen
to live in a country that likes to apply censorship by messing with DNS;
so I generally don't use my ISP's name servers, and have never had any
issues arising from this. So in this case a solution could just be to
ignore the issue... :)

Now, assuming that I am wrong and this is actually a serious issue that
we need to solve (of which I am not opposed to being convinced), I think
it would be feasible to come up with a solution where we could at least
allow less capable routers that do not implement the full MPvD support.
I can think of at least two ways off the top of my head:

1. Allow the router in question to offload queries to a more capable
   router elsewhere in the homenet.

2. Allow the router in question to just query all upstreams and combine
   the results (and so offload the problem to the client).
